Did you know it is possible to survive falling into the pit in fractal? Well, I'm sure many you have known that already, but I only found that out a few days ago... Anyway, I found that the best way to survive the fall is to stick to the wall in front of you almost until you hit the lightning, and then pull back all the way. This allows you to grab the shield belt even when the pit is open! Timing is pretty critical, so I don't think this has much value in online play, but it's a good thing to know anyway. Has anyone found another method for surviving the fall?
